The Glyph Monado

Ch. 96: Dreaded Call

Elsewhere, Luz was still waiting for Eda. She had finished her breakfast and was sitting in the den as she was cleaning the Monado with a cold rag. It may be a magic weapon but it still got dirty.

'Where are they? King and Eda should've been back by now.' Luz thought as she was beginning to worry.

"I hope they're alright."

"They're fine, Luz. You don't have to worry." Hooty said, stretching into the house. "I waved them off as they left!"

"Do you know where they went?"

Hooty thought for a moment as he wanted to put Luz at ease and MAYBE eat the left over breakfast she made for King and Eda.

"They said they had to go visit some one."

"Do you know who?" Luz asked, feeling slightly better to know they weren't in any danger.

"No." Hooty said.

Luz moaned at this, flopping back on the couch.

"Did they at least tell you when they would be back?" Luz asked.

"Now that I can answer. Eda said they'd be back by at least 3pm." Hooty said.

"Well, at least that's something."

"Yeah, it is. So, how've you been?! You and your girlfriends going strong?" Hooty asked her.

"Yeah, we're doing fine.....aside from Boscha being mad that I MAY have caused her ceramic tub to be ruined." Luz said quickly before clearing her throat, "She's so going to turn me into one when I see her next."

Hooty winced at this before a random thought come to his mind.

"Say....could your girlfriend use that transformation spell on me to give me a new body?" Hooty asked.

"I... don't know."

'Hooty's always complained about not having a body but changing him with a shapeshifting spell? I don't think that would work out well.' Luz thought.

"Well next time you see her, ask her. Hoot Hoot."

"Okay, sure." Luz said as Hooty stretched back into door. "At least Boscha hasn't been traumatized by you yet. I might as well call Boscha." Luz said, fully expecting Boscha to turn her into something through the call.

Luz pulled out her scroll and calls Boscha, waiting for an answer that was most likely yelling.

"Hello, my little trouble maker." Boscha said through the phone.

"Hi, Boscha. So, I'm sorry about-"

"You're still in trouble." Boscha said, "Trust me, I don't know when, and I don't know what, but you're going to get punished for it eventually."

"Y-Yeah, I figured." Luz said with a small blushed.

"And just so you know, I still love you despite ruining my tub. Accidents happen." Boscha said to her.

"Aw, I love you too." Luz said, "So... Eda and King aren't here and they won't be here for a good while, so... If you turn me into something, I was thinking... maybe the three of us can have a date? One that doesn't get interrupted?"

"Always, we've only had one where it didn't end badly, right?" Boscha asked her.

"Honestly, I don't even think we've had that." Luz said.

"Well, then this could be it. It could be that sleepover you suggested." Boscha said to her.

"One could say that's what we always do." Luz said.

"Then get over here and help us decide on a date." Boscha said, "Or else I'll turn you into a plunger."

Luz gagged at this threat as she imagined being a plunger and being used to unclog DISGUSTING toilets whenever one was backed up.

"I'll be right over.....and please NEVER put that imagine in my head again. I almost lost my breakfast." Luz begged.

"No promises.....but okay. I love it when you beg." Boscha said.

"Maybe I should do it more often." Luz said, "If you like it that much, although, I think I want to hear you beg."

"Never going to happen." Boscha said.

"It could." Luz said with a teasing voice.

"It won't. Now come back and I PROMISE you won't be my tub." Boscha said with a teasing tone before hanging up the phone.

"Alright, time to get back to Boscha's house."

Luz got up and put the remaining eggs with sausage in the fridge before calling Amethyst to her shoulder again.

'Are you sure she won't turn you into a tub?' Amethyst hissed.

"50% sure but that's better than nothing." Luz said to her purple dragon palisman.

Luz took off and flew to Boscha's home.

"Have fun, Luz! I'll tell Eda you came home!" Hooty shouted before stretching to the kitchen. "Now come to Hooty, eggs and sausage. Hoot."
